Matthew 8:20-29 Amplified Bible (AMP)

20. And Jesus replied to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have lodging places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.

21. Another of the disciples said to Him, Lord, let me first go and bury [care for till death] my father.

22. But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, and leave the dead [in sin] to bury their own dead.

23. And after He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24. And suddenly, behold, there arose a violent storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered up by the waves; but He was sleeping.

25. And they went and awakened Him, saying, Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing!

26. And He said to them, Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness).

27. And the men were stunned with bewildered wonder and marveled, saying, What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!

28. And when He arrived at the other side in the country of the Gadarenes, two men under the control of demons went to meet Him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce and savage that no one was able to pass that way.

29. And behold, they shrieked and screamed, What have You to do with us, Jesus, Son of God? Have You come to torment us before the appointed time? [Judg. 11:12; II Sam. 16:10.]
